Ingredients

Scale

  2. Wash and pat dry the chicken breasts and season them with salt and pepper.
  3. Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in the third dish.
  5. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in egg, and coat with breadcrumb mixture.
  6. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  7. Fry the chicken cutlets for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
